Ok, lemme rephrase my questions... The man page lists maximums for values at 64K, and names at 255 characters. This implies these are the only limits one need worry about -- i.e. there is no limit on the maximum number of 255 byte names nor is there a limit on the sum of the values of attributes. Is it something like 2^60 bytes? or some such limit that no one will ever hit? Could I store alternate soundtracks for movies in attribute fields, or alternate scenes for movies? |
